Rainbow On Other Side of Sky

Those who saw prairies bloom Remember well the dams he built Filling their abundant reservoirs Growing harvests they cherished Being the only bridge they had Standing over turbulent streams. When the nights reign moonless And clouds churn mighty storms Most people still remember him As ray of light when they were lost For he was their only lighthouse. His words enlightened their hearts, His actions charted pristine paths, Defying fiercely allure of wrongs Sacred was the sermon he doled out, Illustrious was he~ held in regard. Though he’s gone, he left his mark, Some have heard his clarion call, Inspired to follow in his footsteps, Planting the seeds of his message, Carrying his torch~ seeds to harvest. Esteemed is their beneficent voice Tolling of selflessness and sacrifice, Dedicating to others purpose of life Alleviating sufferings of human plight; Keeping the flame of goodwill alive Trekking through rains and clouds Leading the way, guiding how to find The rainbow on other side of sky.
